I always thought they had a good list. The backline could crumble at any time and there are some plodgers. The recruitment of Harmes is a bit weird as is the 3 year contract but we will take it.

You can’t make up your mind Wdee re Tommo or Turner. I think it’s about time we hit games into Disco with an eye always on the opposition if they have a genuine beast in their attack, which May need the bigger body. 

58er, you seem to be saying that Disco Turner has a bigger body than Tommo!?!

They're both about 194-195cm but Tommo is 95 or 96kg and Turner is only 87 or 88kg. I think Tommo's bigger.

If you read it correctly I am saying  Turner should be preferred unless on the odd occasion we may need a bigger body ie Tommo for any Beasts. 

I fully understand Disco is not as big bodied as Tommo hence the comment covering this option.

Thanks any how Rob Mac.

I have him behind Chandler so it's touch and go whether he makes the round 1 team. Pickett is out and maybe Smith will see him on the team.

Not sold on Tomlinson need to see his form in the pre-season.

Depending on what happens to Smith Chandler will be the 22nd man or sub.

Spargo will be a sub or emergency.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
